Cleveland Heights is a small residential subdivision with Alexandria mailing addresses in Fairfax County. Located along South 14th Street near Leesburg Pike and the Arlington County line, the neighborhood offers detached homes, private yards, and convenient access to Bailey’s Crossroads, Interstate 395, Arlington, and Washington, D.C.
Cleveland Heights should not be confused with the city of Cleveland Heights, Ohio. This Northern Virginia subdivision is part of the Alexandria 22302 mailing area but is governed by Fairfax County. Nearby communities include Alexandria West, Skyline, Skyline Village, and Beauregard Manor.
Cleveland Heights primarily consists of detached single-family homes developed during the mid-20th century. Ranch homes, ramblers, Cape Cods, and other traditional suburban designs may be found within the subdivision. Some original houses have been expanded or replaced with larger residences.
Because Cleveland Heights contains relatively few properties, available listings may be infrequent. Homes can vary considerably in size, condition, and renovation history.
Features found in individual Cleveland Heights homes may include:
Buyers should compare the age and condition of roofing, windows, drainage, foundations, insulation, electrical systems, and mechanical equipment. Permits should also be reviewed when a property includes additions, converted garages, or finished basement areas.
Cleveland Heights properties use Alexandria mailing addresses, but the neighborhood is located outside the independent City of Alexandria. Property taxes, permits, public schools, and most government services are administered by Fairfax County.
This distinction is important when buyers compare taxes, school assignments, zoning requirements, trash collection, and other services. Buyers should rely on the property’s tax record rather than the postal city alone when confirming jurisdiction.
Cleveland Heights is close to the shopping and dining options available throughout Bailey’s Crossroads and the Leesburg Pike corridor. Residents can reach grocery stores, restaurants, fitness facilities, professional services, and everyday retail without traveling into central Alexandria.
Additional shopping and entertainment destinations include Shirlington, Arlington’s Columbia Pike corridor, Skyline, and Seven Corners. Old Town Alexandria remains accessible for waterfront dining, historic attractions, independent shops, and cultural destinations.
Residents can reach several parks and recreation facilities in Fairfax County, Arlington, and Alexandria. Nearby options include the Minnie H. Peyton Community Center at Bailey’s, Dora Kelley Nature Park, and parks along the Four Mile Run corridor.
Four Mile Run and the Washington & Old Dominion Trail provide regional walking and bicycling connections. Additional athletic fields, playgrounds, picnic areas, and recreation centers are available throughout Bailey’s Crossroads and South Arlington.
Leesburg Pike, Columbia Pike, Carlin Springs Road, and Interstate 395 connect Cleveland Heights with Arlington, the Pentagon, National Landing, Washington, D.C., and other Northern Virginia employment centers.
The neighborhood is not directly served by Metrorail, but Metrobus routes operate throughout the surrounding area. Pentagon City, Ballston, and King Street–Old Town are among the Metro stations residents may reach by bus, car, bicycle, or rideshare. Commuters should verify current schedules for their specific route.
Cleveland Heights is served by Fairfax County Public Schools rather than Alexandria City Public Schools. Attendance boundaries and educational programs may change, so buyers should confirm current assignments directly with Fairfax County Public Schools.
Because Cleveland Heights is a small subdivision, buyers should arrange financing early and monitor new listings closely. Lot characteristics, renovations, finished square footage, and parking may differ substantially from one property to another.
A local real estate professional can help confirm Fairfax County jurisdiction, review comparable sales, evaluate disclosures, and coordinate inspections.
Sellers can emphasize the neighborhood’s detached homes, private yards, access to Arlington, and proximity to Bailey’s Crossroads. Marketing should clearly explain that the property has an Alexandria address while being located in Fairfax County.
